DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-01631-6
Abstract: We proposed that nose-blowing without pinching was safer and able to get rid of mucus and maintain nasal patency as effective as the pinch and blow method. The objective of this study was to evaluate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/1.5025518
Abstract: The formation of Z-pinch dynamic hohlraums (ZPDHs) can be regarded as a two-phase process consisting of the energy thermalization and the shock propagation. Once the Z-pinch plasma impacts onto the convertor, the energy thermalization begins… read more here.
